Title: Detecting pause in audible input to device
Inventor: VANBLON RUSSELL SPEIGHT
IPC: G10L15/24
Filed: 2014-11-26
Abstract: A device processes an audible input sequence provided by a user, and determines that a pause in providing the audible input sequence has occurred at least partially based on a first signal from at least one camera. The device ceases to process the audible input sequence in response to a determination that the pause has occurred. The device then determines that providing the audible input sequence has resumed based at least partially on a second signal from the camera, and resumes processing of the audible input sequence. The pause may include an audible sequence separator, or filler, that is unintelligible to the device, which may be determined using lip reading software. The pause may include a pause in the audible input provided to the device. This may be indicated by determining the users mouth is closed. Determining that the user has stopped providing audible input may further be in response to receiving input from a touchscreen. In another embodiment the processing of an audible input command is in response to a signal from a camera that the users mouth is moving while looking in the direction of the device.
